Looking at one photograph at a time
Kyiv (Remembering Guernica) copyright 2020/2022 Douglas Stockdale I find myself in a similar place that Picasso did in 1938 when Hitler bombed the civilian city of Guernica in Spain during the Spanish Civil War; how does one portray the suffering wrought by needless violence and chaos of an unprovoked attack? Similar to Guernica, the city of... Continue Reading →
Quantum Elements FC No 4472 copyright 2020 Douglas Stockdale - ArtNews today provided an interesting update on the James Webb space-telescope and informed me about some scientific/artistic insights that are applicable to my Quantum Elements series.

Caustic Networks #9793 (Quantum Elements series) copyright 2020 Douglas Stockdale - While working on the series of photographs that investigates the sub-atomic world of particle physics, I have not really been calling much attention to the visual aspects of what results. Such that when the image is deconstructed and distilled into black and white, such... Continue Reading →
Quantum Elements (Caustic Network #165000) copyright Douglas Stockdale 2021 - My Quantum Elements series continues to evolve as I am really fascinated with the macro aspect of particle physics, those things that occur at the sub-atomic level, but yet provides evidence of the events that we can not see occurring.

Another aspect of the Oregon coast is the many small... Continue Reading →

Likewise, I have... Continue Reading →
The Chaos We are In, (#4058) copyright 2021 Douglas Stockdale - This is my third reflection on how I implement my Photo (Artistic) Creativity and probably the one that I have mentioned most often in my past articles; allowing myself to 'Experiment/Play'. Aka, it's okay to mess around and have some fun. Others may not... Continue Reading →
Copyright Douglas Stockdale Wow, yesterday I was just hit by Facebook with a "Your comment goes against our Community Standards on spam". When a friend had posted posted on Facebook with a comment about Quantum Mechanics, I had in turn responded with a comment about a series I am working on that investigates particle physics...

Caustic Networks #0479 copyright Douglas Stockdale 2021 In a Galaxy Far, Far Away... Okay, who might not be a Star Wars fan? When I experience my first Star Wars movie long, long ago, I was hooked. I am old enough that this was also the very first release of the very first Star Wars movie... Continue Reading →
I was making a personal transition with my artwork from the literal to something less literal, deviling into abstraction when I became aware of Marcel Ducamp's Nude Descending a Staircase, No. 2, which I found fascinating.
